Barista

Starbucks

Dec 2013

Whilst at Starbucks I have been able to further my understanding of business by becoming aware of the nature of upselling and meeting weekly goals. Working in an environment that can sometimes be incredibly demanding and pressuring means I know how to work well within a team and delegate roles in order to create a calm, productive working environment. On the reverse of this, when things do not run according to plan, my experience with irate customers has helped to develop my customer service skills. At Starbucks I have also gained experience in creating displays, both with food and merchandise, creating something that is visually appealing for customers whilst also producing something that showcases our products.
